□ [“Trump:  We Should Have a Convention Before the Midterm Elections"]

That makes sense.  Not that it would officially do anything but it would get a lot of publicity.  Trump's not on the 2026 ballot so he'll want to encourage people to get out and vote.  It seems like an obvious idea, why didn't Obama and Biden do that?  Biden got more votes than anybody in history and even though Obama had no chance on his own, he always called himself popular.  His endorsements didn't have a very good record though.  Trump's the self-obsessed rich guy who keeps doing things to help others, the elite leftists aren't.

 And based on the last ten years or so, Trump's going to get all the publicity, leaving Democrats with nothing to work on.  I would say they can't possibly be completely obsessed with Trump by this time next year, they'll have to have finally learned their lesson, but there's not a whole lot of encouragement for that.  Some Democrats are starting to accept reality but they still have to face the rest of their party, and whatever genuine voters there still are out there.

We don't know what the economy will look like at that point but if it's doing well, it will be anti-Democrat so that's another problem.  The crimes, the illegals, the trans movement, those are going to be hit hard over the next year.  The biggest problem will be if nobody has gone to jail yet.  I still hope there's a plan for the 250th anniversary but there's still a lot of reason to worry.

□ [“'Stay Tuned' – Trump Teases Federal Crackdown on Chicago After Six Killed, 20 Shot"]

I don't think there's any doubt he'll do this next, all he needs is an excuse.  And as we've seen for decades, the non-white population in Chicago is more than willing to give him an excuse.  I assume this was already planned, it may be why other states sent their National Guard to DC.  They're getting prepared and it's not likely Chicago can do anything about it.  Oh, they could try to do something about the crime but what are the odds of that?

□ [“Gavin Newsom Rambles When Asked If Crime is a Problem in California – Abruptly Ends Press Conference"]

And here's a similar issue.  It's like they realize that keeping their citizens safe from crime would be helpful and they'd look good for doing it, but they have no clue how to get to that position from here.  Newsom could have just answered the question, yes and that's why he's doing something about it.  But he could barely talk for several seconds and then the rest of his response barely had anything in connection with the English language.

At this point, I'd say Newsom has the best odds of being installed as 2028 POTUS candidate and he can't answer a simple question.  I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's actually smart enough to answer it, but he has to think through all the previous promises he's made to his allies, public and private, and there's no way to carry that over into an answer on stopping crime in California.  I'm guessing that tonight or tomorrow, someone will post a generic-but-coherent response on the internet with Newsom's name attached.

And this is just building Trump's point about the leftist elites who support crime against the peasants.  Chicago and California are seeing that they really aren't going to be helped by the Democrats they've lived under for generations, so they'll start looking for better options.  It's not public yet but I think the politicians have enough experience to see that they're in this mess.  Yet they can't do anything about it unless they want to be purged from the left.  That is a thorny problem but it's not our problem.

□ [“Bill Gates Drops Funding for Dark-Money 'Arabella Advisors'"]

Another aspect of our elites' separate government is coming out.  Online "influencers" are paid lots of money to push leftism and, as a non-profit, they don't have to tell the truth.  Or say where their money is coming from, billionaires like Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros.  But Zuckerberg and now Gates have stepped back.

I've just glimpsed some of the images, they're basically listing the major groups connected here, although there's no clue what they actually do.  As we saw from DOGE, there's a lot of money just being passed back-and-forth to keep the whole agenda hidden.  Much of it is handled on the 'dark web' and is so unattached that we can't really see what the actual problem is.  Leftism, yes, but how does any of this apply to the real world?

A bit more noteworthy is that Arabella Advisors was founded by one of Bill Clinton's staff.  Subsidiaries include Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, New Venture Fund, Windward Fund, North Fund and Telescope Fund.  Most of these were funded at the beginning or the end of Obama's term, suggesting that these were designed to carry through multiple presidencies.  But there's still not much to point to, other billionaires who helped fund them maybe.  I'm mostly just making a note of what might be going on.

□ [“Democrat on Surface Transportation Board Refuses to Leave Post After Trump Fires Him"]

He's not the only one, I don't really see how they can expect to overrule the Chief Executive.  In theory they might have contracts which it's just easier to honor than to ignore but it seems unlikely that the government wouldn't have options.  And who's going to defend this guy?  Well, at least outside of government employees.  Most normal people have experience with losing a job.

□ [“Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Admits to Manufacturing Documents, Hints ‘Clerical Error’ Behind Mortgage Occupancy Fraud Dispute"]

Another example.  I'd bet she has a slightly better chance at winning and not just because of race and skin color.  I don't know if the Federal Reserve is actually disconnected from the executive branch but that's at least the general oppression, so she might have a contract or regulations to protect her.  That said, I'm pretty sure she doesn't have much of a chance, as seen by the way she has to admit that there are problems with her real estate dealings.  But it's totally not her fault!

Partially it's unelected bureaucrats who refuse to concede losing power.  I also think some of them expect to become famous for this.  They may well expect to just skate through an election and never have to convince anybody to go along with them.  This is who really makes up the party, the rest are all ignorant supporters.  But they're seeing it now and they don't like it.
